When earth is at one end of the major axis of the elliptical orbit having major and minor axes 2A and 2B , respectively, its velocity (with magnitude `V_0` ) makes an angle `theta` with the major axis. What is the value of `theta` and what may be the areal velocity of the earth ?

A

`0^@ and 0.5 V_0 [A+sqrt(A^2-B^2)]`

B

`0^@ and 0.5 V_0 [A-sqrt(A^2-B^2)]`

C

`90^@ and 0.5 V_0 [A+sqrt(A^2-B^2)]`

D

`90^@ and 0.5 V_0 [A-sqrt(A^2+B^2)]`
